What is the cause of the right-column float drop in IE/6:
1/ it is not properly cleared?
2/ the left-column is too wide?
3/ the left-column is too wide /and/ the float needs to be cleared?
4/ none of the above?
/Start/ with the left-column is too wide. Consequently, the right-column
drops because it does not have a wide enough berth to slip into.
#content
{
border: 1px solid red; <----- :: add ::
overflow: hidden; <----- :: add ::
}
And put IE/6 in quirksmode by adding this declaration immediately above
the doctype:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
Add this:
body {text-align: center;}
to center the page rail-to-rail in IE/6.
All of the above will not fix the problem. It will isolate the issue(s).
